Pleuro-PneumOnia In Texas,

Pleuro-pneumonia, or something
very like it, has made it's appearance
in Texas in herd of Jerseys lately
brought from the North. The dis
eased animals have been isolated, and
it is believed the injection can be
checked. 1t would, in one sense, be q
great misfortune to have pleuro-pneu.
monia get foothold in the large herds
OF cattle in the far West and South
west. But Texas has too large re.
sources in other directions to be per.
manently given up to stock breeding
on the ranch aud cowboy system. It
is possible that a calamity which
would break up this system, not only
in Texas but in other parts OF the
great West, might in the end prove a
blessing in disguise.

How Chicken Feed IL Wasted.

There is often 8 waste OF chicken
food. II given too much the hens get
too fat, and do not lay. Such food is
waste, as it not only prevents egg
production, but is more expensive.
Feeding insufficiently is waste, as it
is better to sell or kill the birds than
to feed them in g. manner that does
not permit them to be profitable. 1t
is waste to omit & variety OF food,
as the hens cannot ,ay unless they
have the materials with which to
produce the eggs required. It is
q waste to feed Il flock
OF fowls for eight or ten
months and then sell them g. few weeks
before they may begin to produce
something. Such is a common prac-
tice. Many persons will carefully feed
flock from March to January, and
il no eggs are laid disgust is the result,
and the consequence is the birds are
sent to market about Christmas,
though in q few weeks more they
would probably begin to lay. Never
sell hen on the approach OF spring.
No matter how Improbable she may
have been in winter, it is usual for all
hens to lay az the winter begins to
turn into spring, and the only way to
retrieve loss is to hold on to them, SO
as to get some return for food con.
sumed.

Origin of q Saying.

In 1860, the year before the war,
party of Northern Illinoi, hunters ed
themselves to the lakes of Minnesota for
an annual duck hunt of a few weeks,
making the journey to st. Paul, which
was at that time but little more than a
frontier village, by a steamer from Du-
buque, la. Among the party was chap
named Truax, a proverbial liar, but
oily, good -natured fellow withal, whose
predominant weakness was readily ex
cused, if not ent rely overlooked, by
those who knew him we'll. Abe, that
being his first name, seemed to struggle
more recklessly and naturally with the
truth when talking about his proves as
hunter of game than on any other sub
ject.
one afternoon, as the steamer was
blowing its way through Lake Pepin,
a number of the male assengers were
seated forward on the boiler deck, in
little knots, passing the time away in
conversation. Abe was prominent fS-
ure in one of the groups, and had already
astonshed himself fairly by the whop-
pers he had successfully gotten of, when
the sub Get of duck hunting, the mission
which himself and friends were out on,
was adverted to.
I've shot few ducks in my time"
broke in be during momentary lull
in the talk
'Iiow many did you ever kill in one
dayl" queried a cross eyed passenger
from down about Burlington.
"You may not believe me, sir, - re-
phi d Truax, but in the late fall of -
| went out alone one morning, about
seven miles, with my dog and gun, and
brought home $50 ducks by actual count,
and it wasn't very good day for ducks,
either"
''lou did that all alone, and in one
trip2' asked the cross-eyed man, rs he
put down some figures on an envelope
with a pencil he had carelessly taken
from his vest pc ket.
Yes, sir, | did" said Truax, with
tinge of ill-humor in his tone.
Those ducks would weight about two
and a half pounds apiece, wouldn't
they?' casually remarked the Burlington
man, as he kept on making characters
with his pencil.
II should say they would" remarked
the unsuspecting Abe.
well. then. said the persistent que
rist. you killed Just $50 pounds of ducks;
and if you can tell me how one man is
able to lug thut weight seven mi es, and
carry gun at the same time, you can do
something that no other liar in the
Northwest can match"
Abe reflected a minute, and with:
That is whOpper. isn't it, gentlemen"
he invited the whole party TO take some
thing at his expense.
The remark and it wasn't good
day for ducks, either" was used banter
lngly on Truax during the remainder of
trlp, and in time it became common on
the Mississippi, whence it spread until
1t became one of the proverbial Ameri-
canlsms of the times Gl0je- Democrat.
